Welcome back for another edition of “The Display Case”, where hockey fans come to show off their prized pieces of memorabilia!

Today’s submission comes from Sherri Magrini who landed a great piece of memorabilia from Pekka Rinne, goaltender for the Nashville Predators, her fav team.

“Oh gosh the story behind the signing, I was in Nashville back in March to take in some games, big Preds fans and became a Pekka fan when he was with Milwaukee, anyway he was doing a radio show at a restaurant and we went to see him. I actually run www.PekkaRinne.Com and he knew of me and about the site so I went to meet him in person to put a face with the name so he knew the person who was running the website. I had the helmet and asked him to personalize it for me and he was more than happy to do it. We talked for quite awhile after the show, he's the most amazing person I've ever met, extremely sweet and grateful for everything. Truly amazing person. “

A great submission here by Sherri! Not only is it something from her favourite player but it has a whole experience behind it that makes it a fantastic conversation piece! And really, it only makes sense for the administrator of www.pekkarinne.com to have some swag like this, doesn’t it? Speaking of the site, go on over a pay Sherri a visit. Not only does she have Rinne news, but a lot of Predators news in general!

Now the question becomes readers: Do YOU have anything you feel is worthy of being featured in the Display Case? I’ll answer it for you: YES! You DO! Just send me some pics of your favourite collectible, or maybe the one with the most interesting story behind it, and a little blurb explaining why it’s your fav/most interesting and you could be featured in a future post! Just send it off to my email listed below and you’re set.

Cheers!
